National Historical Commission of the Philippines

2 Things I have learned:

NHCP keeps records of all historical events, even those that most people don’t usually pay much attention to. I tried searching one of the most unacknowledged history-related topic I know, and it showed up, proving that they make sure every part of our history is remembered.

With that said, I tried searching for Gen. Miguel Malvar, the forgotten president of the Philippines, and learned that he died due to liver disease. Anyway, despite becoming the head of the revolutionaries, his role is still rarely mentioned in common history lessons. Still, to me he would always remain the coolest general our country had.
